新年愿望

2008 年来得还真快！2000 年时， 觉得2008, 2010， 是很遥远的事。可现在就在眼前了。

许多事情还来不及完成，还不想变老。。。

该怎么办？

2008，我的新年愿望， 可不可以不要变老?

可以就此停住吗

为什么到达了一个高峰之后， 我们要下山去镇服另一座高山呢？ 人生为什么要不断向前迈进， 不停地往更高的地方？ 简简单单不好吗？平平淡淡不好吗？一份平淡简单的工作， 平凡的生活， 近乎零的改变， 那样的日子， 好吗？ 满足吗？ 为何不满足？改变是痛苦的， 辛苦的，疲惫的。人生其实可以不必那么匆促。。。是吧？

Pinot Grigio 与英国

寒冷的天气， 保温的绒衣， 一杯Pinot Grigio 和 Bryan Adam 的歌声，现在的我， 还真的处在英国-- 这个距离马来西亚半个地球的国度。 有时走在街上， 吹打在脸上的， 不是温热凉爽的风， 而是‘冰冷’的，就和冰一样冷。 怎会不想念马来西亚？ 想念不必把自己包裹得厚厚的才出门；想念不论你怎么讲我都明白的语言；想念大大型的shopping complex 似模似 样的圣诞节装饰；想念想要出门时可以把车子开了就走， 也不必因为火车延迟而在外忍受刺骨的冷风；想念半夜三更还可以买到Nasi Lemak 的Mamak 档；还有我最爱的Laksa….想念的应该有很多很多吧！

心理上虽然没有多余的挣扎， 但生理上却有着‘无声’的抗议。 首先， 鼻孔一直非常的干燥， 有时还流血；接着身体开始冒起了许多红斑点， 非常粗糙，我美美的皮肤就这样功亏一篑了！:(

虽然生理上有些许抗议，但我总觉得离开是好的。 没有人知道自己的一生会有多长多久； 所以无论是好的， 坏的，Pinot Grigio 或Sauvignon Blanc 我都想一一品尝。。

I am 19!

This week I started to work as a part timer in a takeaway restaurant. Today there's another part timer english boy (18 yrs old) worked together with me. And he wanted to know how old am I. He said " u dun have to tell me, let me guess...you're 19." hahahaha..I was so happy then I said you're wrong. And he said:"so you're 18"..#@$&*speechless
Wahahahaha....after that I told him I was definately older than 19. He said: It couldnt be, you must be kidding. Okay, the most is 21, it is imposibble you're older than 21". I said I am older than 21 he did not believe. When I told him I am 27, he insisted I am cheating him. He keep saying that I was born in the year of Tiger, which is 21 yrs old.
Hahaha.......whatever it is, I am very happy to hear that......so happy.
one more funny things is, I cant really catch what he said because he speakpretty fast and tend to digest some words. So when I ask him what he would like to be, he said: Fireman. I thought he was saying farmer. SO I ask him what kind of farmer you would like to be (like plant vege, rare cow etc), only when he was explaining those firestation, host etc....I realised that he was saying fireman. Sangat malulah

Let's talk about Dubai

Dubai is a small city. I arrived at Dubai in the very early morning 3.05am. However, It took me 2 hours to get through the Immigration checking. I dun understand why are there so many visitors to Dubai, it is as heavy as Singapore Malaysia border custom, so crowded. Once I stepped out the airport , wah, it was so cold, like being in Genting. Actually Dubai is in its winter, but I always think that middle east mah, like Malaysia, winter only mah, the most they have is raining. But the local people told me that some time the temperature can go down to negative. Well, it is morning that the temperature is cold, the rest of the day, it is just like Malaysia, more windy than Malaysia. As long as you stand under the shade, then it is very comfortable.
Dubai airport departure-ppl sleeping everywhere To visit the first destination- Dubai creek park, I took the wrong bus (too many ppl giving different opinion) n got lost…being in the middle of no where. Eventually I decided to go to the second destination- Gold souq. All shops in the gold suoq are selling gold (ofcause lah, you can know from it'sname). Nearly ALL shops selling gold, many many gold, and there's no security guard there. Believe it or not, I was very hungry and looking for a café, it took me very very long time to find a small café.

City: It makes not much different with Bangkok or KL, traffic is super jam, carbon dioxide is super high, workers is everywhere because everywhere is under construction! Huh! There's lots of shopping mall, with pyramid style (like sunway piramid but sunway is nicer), dragon style a long long dragon body structure) etc. I heard ppl said that the animal fur is very cheap here, so many pl come over and buy animal fur………Oh I really hate it. There's lots of beautiful and luxury building in the city, not to mention the emirates tower and the coming soon tallest building, almost all building here has their own style.

People: There are quite a number of people here are migrant workers-Pakistanis,Indian, Philippino, Afghanistan's etc. Some books said it is about 75%, but I think more than that. And I think almost 90% of the population are MALE. You see guys everywhere, on the street, in the bus, on the boat, in the shop…everywhere. So I always find myself alone among a jungle of guys, so depressing. The guy in Dubai is not friendly at all, not even to lady. They seldom wanna talk nicely to you. The outsiders (migrant workers) tend to be more helpful but the most hospital they are, the more they wanna try to take advantage on you, you just got to be careful. So eventually I never wanna talk to any guy in Dubai. The problem is, you really hard to find a lady when you wanna ask somebody to take your photo or asking for direction.

Transport: The transportation is crazy. There's no train system so you end up with taxi or buses. I spent lots of my time waiting for the bus and travelling in the bus. Taxi is very costly, very very costly but it the most common transport. I felt the lady is most protected in the bus. Because there are 12 seat reserved for ladies only just behind the driver seat. No guys are allowed to sit on or stand beside the ladies seat. However, no lady is allowed to board the bus once the seats are all occupied. This is the sad thing, because at night, where there's lots of female passengers in the bus, you have to wait for a bus which has lady seat for you. So you will see many girls are left in the bus stop because not allowed to board the bus.

Burj Al Arab:
I visited twice the hotel. It is not as big as I imagined. To enter to the lobby of the hotel you need to pay 100 dirham. I went to visit Jumeirah beach hotel. This one has the same architecture as Burj Al Arab and are belongs to the same company.
